Abstract
An improved system for draining bunkers on golf courses. A receptacle is positioned below the bunker surface and can have an aperture for receiving drain water and an outlet for discharging the water through a conduit. A perforated pipe water collection system can be attached to the receptacle to direct water to the receptacle interior space. A receptacle cover is removable to permit access to the receptacle interior space. The cover is sufficiently strong to support the overlying weight of people and equipment and can have apertures for permitting water entry while resisting sand entry into the receptacle interior space.
